Judge allows lawsuit against KISS' Simmons

KISS lead singer, Gene Simmons, landed himself in some hot water when bragging for VH1 about all the women he's been with. Turns out that one of those women didn't appreciate the way she was portrayed and has sued him for defamation.

Like it or not Gene, you can't talk trash about your groupies, show their picture on TV, and expect to get away with it scot free. Let me say that I don't have a lot of sympathy for any groupie: if you throw your self-respect out the window for the chance to sleep with a rock star, don't come crying to me later that he doesn't respect you. But on the flip side, if you are trying to impress everyone with your sexual conquests, I don't want to hear it when one of those conquests gets upset about it.

If Gene is smart, he'll settle out of court with this woman because the law is on her side. He trashed her reputation and the use of the photo isn't protected when you're using it to do so. Sorry Gene, time to open the wallet and shut your mouth...for a change...
